>>507663885 (OP)>I predict at least 10,000 mutts dead.Substantially more than that, because it wouldn't just be Iran by itself. Russia, China, Pakistan (and others) aren't going to just sit by and do nothing like the whole world did in the case of Iraq/Afghanistan. I'm not saying they would overtly get involved, but they would support Iran with armamants similar to what we did with the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan in the 80s which ultimately forced the Soviets out.
This war is already unpopular as it is anyway, since it is clear that Israel was the aggressors. There would be massive protests domestically over this. Far worse than just the pro-Immigrant riots in LA, because only a minority of Leftists support that, but opposing this war would have broad mainstream support, not just from the Left but from the dissident Right as well.
I don't think this is a war we would even win. If we make the mistake of going into this it would probably be our Suez Crisis.
